Você, que gosta de filme afegão com legenda em húngaro não pode perder este lançamento

Imagine: "Osama dá lucros para o Afeganistão"

Para quem faz o discurso do "lucro-é-coisa-dos-EUA" embora adore um "quero-mamar-dólares-para-matar-russos-ou-para-produzir-petróleo-sem-ter-que-dividir-com-ninguém", eis aí uma manchete imaginária que me faria gargalhar. Agora, veja bem, a manchete não é tão imaginária assim. Basta pensar na bilheteria do filme abaixo.


EurasiaNet Culture - "Osama: "'OSAMA"

"OSAMA’S" ACCOLADES MAY SPUR AFGHAN FILM INDUSTRY

Mark Berniker: 3/19/04

The film "Osama," the first full-length feature to come out of Afghanistan since the start of the US-led campaign against terrorism, offers international audiences perhaps the best look to date at the horrors perpetrated by the radical Islamic Taliban movement. The film’s commercial and critical success may well serve as a catalyst for more films that shed light on Afghanistan’s tortured recent history.

The title of the film has been a source of some confusion. The film has nothing to do with al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, or terrorism for that matter. "Osama" is a poignant portrayal of life under the Taliban, focusing on the severe conditions experienced by Afghan women. The Taliban held power in Kabul for a five-year span, 1996-2001, during which time it imposed a strict version of Islamic law that left most Afghan women living in a state of virtual house arrest.
